Veneda is a jewellery designer renowned for working with gold. It's her experience working with gold that made her the perfect collaborator for Hennessy on this exclusive golden release.


Golden Hour Artwork by Veneda Carter


Hennessy has partnered with Veneda Carter to design an exclusive 3D animated NFT artwork of an ethereal desert-scape with the Hennessy decanter bathed in a golden light. A tribute to its graceful character and to the concept of golden hour suspended moment. When describing her unique design Carter said it is "a bounty of Nature polished by human hands". For Carter, behind every jewel in the design, there's a story to be told. "Many of us have felt its spirit and we long to understand it, a harmony that binds us" comments Carter. The NFT artwork concept tells one of those stories, that connects with your emotions.

About Hennessy Paradis Cognac


Master Blender Maurice Fillioux created Hennessy Paradis for the first time in 1979 as a tribute to symphonic music. He compared the blend to 'a symphonic orchestra', as "classical music that takes you away and connects with your emotions." The number of instruments in an orchestra is not necessarily a measure of its success, but rather the purity of sound it creates and the virtuosity of the conductor. The same is true for Hennessy Paradis, a union of exceptional eaux-de-vie selected for their individual qualities to work together to create a harmonious and graceful cognac.


Hennessy Paradis is defined by its graceful, silky character, and immediately delights with its rich copper colour.


Its finely nuanced aromatic qualities welcome those who seek bliss and delight. It is a perfectly balanced blend, both voluptuous and round, and combines smoothness and strength with a silky texture. Naturally, it has a flavourful and deep, persistent finish.


Refined and elegant, each bottle of Hennessy Paradis celebrates the art of cognac creation, and this limited edition golden decanter highlights the rarity of the liquid inside

Tasting Notes

Colour

A palate of coppery gold reflects the many years spent maturing in French oak barrels

Nose

Hennessy Paradis cognac exudes floral notes of dried rose and honeysuckle, underpinned by intense notes of red fruits and spices.

Taste

A graceful, silky texture runs all the way through to a flavourful and deep, persistent finish.

Honey, dried flowers, truffles and soft spices come to the fore in a melting pot of flavours.

Delicate notes of cinnamon, cardamom and fruits give way to perfumes of dried rose petals and sweet briar jam.
